Parent - Teacher Conference Scheduling In Skyward

Duncanville ISD students are close to completing the first 9-weeks grading period. Some parents may want to meet with teachers to discuss progress, changes or just say, “Hello.” The annual Parent-Teacher Conferences provide that opportunity.

At elementaryand intermediate campuses, Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held Tuesday,

October 10th. Parents are able to go to their student’s school that day and meet with their teachers for a quick informal conference.

For secondary campuses, which include middle and high school, Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled by appointment and will be held on Thursday, October 12th. At the secondary level, parent-teacher conferences will be held during 15-minute appointments. Any in-depth discussion that could take more time would need to be scheduled for another date.

Middle and high schools are using Skyward Family Access to make Parent-Teacher Conference appointments. Parents and guardians will be able to make an appointment with each of their students’ teachers by signing up online beginning today, Wednesday, October 4. Online reservations will close at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday October 11.
